Universal CPAP Headgear Strap Covers (Pack of 4)

📦 What's Included

  • 4 × Universal CPAP Headgear Strap Covers, soft fleece

Soft Fleece Cushioning for More Comfortable CPAP Straps

Universal CPAP headgear strap covers, pack of four soft fleece sleeves

The Universal CPAP Headgear Strap Covers add a soft cushioning layer between your skin and your mask straps. Made from premium fleece, they help reduce the pressure marks, friction and irritation that a night of therapy can leave behind.

Straps sit against the same two or four places on your face for seven or eight hours at a stretch, and the fabric most headgear is made from isn't soft — it's engineered to hold tension without stretching. Over weeks that shows up as red lines across the cheeks, sore spots behind the ears, and the chafing that makes people start taking the mask off at 3am. A fleece sleeve spreads the load and takes the friction instead of your skin.

Four covers are included, which is enough for a typical four-strap headgear — or two sets for the lower straps, so there's always a clean pair while the others dry. They wrap around your existing straps in seconds, with nothing to fit and no change to your mask setup.

Pack of 4 Soft Premium Fleece Wrap-Around Fit Washable & Reusable
Note: This product includes the strap covers only. The CPAP mask and headgear straps are sold separately.

If you're getting red marks, covers are half the answer. Marks usually mean the straps are too tight, and straps usually get too tight because a worn cushion has stopped sealing. Fit the covers, but also check the age of your cushion and headgear — see the links below.

Compatibility

  • Most full face mask headgear — including F20, F30 and similar cheek-strap designs
  • Most nasal mask headgear with straps crossing the cheeks
  • CPAP, APAP and BiPAP headgear alike — the covers don't care what the machine is
  • Both upper and lower straps, where the strap width allows
  • Mask cushions, frames or vents — these covers go on the straps only
  • Very wide or very narrow straps outside the fitting range, so check the measurements above

Crown-strap masks: masks such as the AirFit N30i, P30i and F30i route their straps over the top of the head rather than across the cheeks, so the pressure points and strap shapes differ. Check your strap width against the measurements above, or ask us before ordering.

How to Fit Them

Under a minute, and you don't need to take the headgear apart.

  • 1
    Work out where your marks arePut the mask on and look in a mirror, or check where the red lines show in the morning. Usually it's the two lower straps across the cheeks.
  • 2
    Wrap the cover around the strapOpen the cover, lay the strap inside it and close it so the soft side faces your skin. No need to detach the strap from the frame.
  • 3
    Slide it into positionMove the cover along the strap until it sits exactly where the strap touches your face. That's the only part that needs covering.
  • 4
    Re-check your strap tensionFleece adds a little thickness, so the straps will feel slightly tighter than before. Loosen them a touch and re-fit the mask lying down with the machine running.

Start with the two straps that cross your cheeks — most people find that's enough, and it leaves two spare covers to rotate while the first pair is drying.

🔧 Still Getting Red Marks? Check These Too

Strap covers deal with friction and pressure where the strap meets your skin. If the marks persist, the cause is usually tension — and tension usually comes from something else being worn.

  • Mask Cushions — a worn cushion stops sealing, so you tighten to compensate. Replace every 1–3 months; this is the usual culprit
  • Replacement Headgear — stretched elastic needs more tension to hold the same seal. Replace around every 6 months
  • CPAP Mask Wipes — wiping the cushion nightly stops facial oils making it slippery, which is another reason people over-tighten
  • Tube Holders & Hose Clips — a hose dragging sideways pulls the mask off-centre all night, and you tighten to stop it
  • Browse all masks — if the fit has never been right, a different style may suit your face better

🧼 Cleaning Instructions

Fleece sits against your skin all night and absorbs facial oils, so it needs washing more often than the straps underneath.

  • Remove the strap covers from the headgear straps before cleaning.
  • Hand wash weekly, or machine wash on a gentle cycle, using a mild unscented detergent.
  • Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue, which is itself a cause of skin irritation.
  • Gently squeeze out water rather than wringing, to keep the fleece from matting.
  • Air dry fully before refitting — never fit a damp cover against your skin.
  • Avoid bleach, fabric softeners and high-heat or tumble drying, as these flatten and damage the fleece.
  • Rotate two sets if you can, so there's always a clean, dry pair ready.
  • Replace the covers when the fleece goes flat, matted or loose on the strap.

Why Choose the Universal CPAP Headgear Strap Covers?

Tight headgear straps can leave red marks and irritation after a full night's therapy. These covers add a soft, cushioning layer of premium fleece exactly where you need it — reducing pressure and friction without changing your existing mask setup, your seal or your pressure. With a simple wrap-around fit and four covers included, they're one of the cheapest changes you can make to a mask that's uncomfortable, and one of the few that takes effect on the very first night.

  • You wake with red lines across your cheeks or sore spots behind the ears
  • The straps chafe, especially if you move a lot in your sleep
  • You have sensitive skin, or the headgear fabric irritates it
  • You find yourself pulling the mask off in the early hours
  • You have facial hair that catches on the straps
  • You want to protect new headgear from facial oils from the start
  • You need marks to settle before an early meeting or a photo

⚠ Important Safety Notice

These covers are designed for use on CPAP and BiPAP mask headgear straps only. They must not be placed over the mask cushion, the frame, the elbow or any vent — the vent is how exhaled air leaves the mask and must never be covered or obstructed.

Make sure the covers are properly fitted and cannot slip out of position during sleep, and re-check your strap tension after fitting them, since the added thickness changes how tight the straps feel. Do not over-tighten the headgear to compensate for a mask that has stopped sealing — that is usually a sign the cushion or headgear needs replacing.

Clean the covers regularly and inspect them for wear. Replace them if the fleece becomes flat, matted or loose on the strap. If skin irritation, a rash or pressure sores persist or worsen despite using the covers, stop using them and speak to your CPAP provider or healthcare professional.
